Wildner, Vice-President, National Lead Company, 111 Broadway, New York 6, N. Y. Dear Mr. Wildner: In view of the instructions to discontinue the manufacture of White-Lead in Philadelphia, we find it desirable to ask permission to charge such expenses as might ordinarily be charged against the White-Lead Department to Non-Operating Expense, effective April 1st. As we understand this matter requires action of the Board, we request that you present it to the Board in our behalf for favorable action. Yours very truly. ^&c5^*-' J NL 000040226
